Candy Memories

As a child growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my friends and I used to play baseball almost everyday throughout the spring, summer, and well into the fall. One of our favorite games was strikeout. We chose lineups of our favorite players and played religiously.Because our favorite players chewed tobacco, and we were much too young, we would substitute tootsie rolls waded up and stuck into our cheek to give us that major league appearance.
